J. M. Hurowitz - Untitled - 2024 - pencil on paper - 44 x 30 inches
Began this piece the later part of 2023, and completed it today. Read what you will in to it. Art should make the viewer think. All thoughts are valid.

a black spot on the sun
#metropolis 1949#metropolis manga#tezuka star system#mitchy#kenichi#art tag#i dont think i consider metropolis a must-read unless youre a hardcore tezuka fan but it IS a very interesting one#especially as a fan of astro boy metropolis 2001 AND metropolis 1927#mitchy is the son of fritz lang's false maria and the mother of atom#and the whole work is a fascinating reminder of the cyclical and referential nature of all art#(not to say metropolis 1949 doesnt have value standing on its own- it totally does and i really enjoyed reading it)#(but it's almost impossible to look at completely on its own given its place in this long chain of things vaguely inspired by each other)#(all of which are much more well-known)

junk food show to me
#my art#solar opposites#terry opposites#korvo opposites#tervo#would you believe me if I said the main dynamic of this show is a genuine shockingly sweet slow burn gay relationship#been watching for a while cuz I have a soft spot for romances between older men who bicker#would I recommend it? depends on if you think referential pop culture humor has the potential to be funny#and also getting through the first 3 seasons of korvos original va…I really like how the show deals with the voice change#was only intended to put this on bluesky but the showrunner interacted with it and I freaked the fuck out. creator of lower decks…

“Kara is idealistic, yes. You are realistic. That doesn’t mean you are different.” Kelly paused, then, “I have not seen anyone as connected as you two.” “That’s not true,” Lena disrupted her speech. “She’s like the sun, and I’m m–" “If you say moon, I’m going to smack you so hard sparks are going to explode everywhere.” Kelly threatened in jest.
(x)
For @itsalliebitheway as a belated present, for our mutual love for blondie's lyrics and supercorp.
#kara danvers#lena luthor#supercorp#fan art#fanart#[11]#nicnic draws#listen quote is because i realize the lyrics are way more darker than i needed them to be#but self deprecating queen lena luthor would think like that#and i need kelly to smack some sense into her and give some context to my thought process#i'm nothing if not self referential

J. M. Hurowitz - Untitled - 2023 - pencil on paper - 22.5 x 30 inches
This is my most recent work, done specifically for a friend's 60th birthday. Like my other drawings, there are references to art, literature, science, history and other personal interests, as well as images with no special significance other than the fact that I felt like including them. And like my other drawings, my hope is that anyone viewing this work will take the time to make their own connections and interpretations.

Star-Dust by Michael Giacchino from the Rogue One soundtrack 🤝 Mahler Symphony no. 5, Adagietto, sehr Langsam
doing absolutely transcendent and heavenly things with strings and harp while hanging out on a middle C
#sw feels#rogue one#michael giacchino#mahler#mahler symphony no. 5#Mahler 5th symphony#I couldn’t pinpoint what it was around the 1 minute mark in Star-Dust that made me go ‘oh…’ emotionally until it CLICKED#my brain went !! that’s Mahler#and so I had to go confirm and in fact yes. both are orbiting (pun intended) around middle C for both of those similarly transcendent and#clouds-breaking-into-brilliant-sunbeam-esque floaty unhurried tonal resolutions they each have there#rogue one resolves into snippets of the main Jyn Erso & Hope suite motifs and Mahler resolves into extremely unhurried and molasses-like#chord resolutions like 3 min later but both are beautiful and. to borrow from cs Lewis. a tune to break your heart / was it sad? / sad? no!#but anyways. yeah.#music… ough… good shit right there#personal#what is blog for if not for extremely niche and referential music theory posting#anyways stardust I love you rogue one I love you star wars I love you mahler symphonies I love you floating untethered chord progressions I#love you emotive musical motifs and themes I love you beautiful music that breaks your heart I love you emotion I love you art I love you

Hiyaw and Himik, the twin deities of noise and silence, of movement and stillness, of action and contemplation.
The church of Taw (from the root word for volumen/ strength of voice), has a dual structure to mirror its deities. Clerics choose to walk either the path of silence - the most radical followers dedicate themselves to a vow of complete silence and contemplation, retreating to monasteries in the most remote regions- or the path of noise - the order dedicated to the service of the church and its followers outside of the monasteries. The central principle of the religion is the duality and balance between the two deities' domains. The silent order serves to balance out the order of noise, to be the stillness to their movement, the deliberation to their action and vice versa. The religion is a relatively small but ancient one, with many devotees among musicians, poets and performers and a great emphasis on ceremony and the performance of rituals that combine the texts of Hiyaw and Himik.
(did i just spend the last two days thinking about making an entire fake religion complete with a clerical structure for my fh sona? yes. did i bastardise the filipino words like "scream" and "quiet" to find matching names for them? also yes.)
#what do i even tag this#its like ive hit an inception level of self-indulgence/ self referential stuff#ribbittrobbit#original characters#character design#idk if u all know this but im filipino btw but im not good at the language#so the bastardisation of filipino words is natural to me and i decided to just lean into it#my accent is atrocious and if i try to speak filipino now i end up speaking spanish the SECOND i hit any spanish loan words#this is what i get for going to spain for undergrad#linguistic struggles on all sides#my art#my ocs#are these even ocs they're more like lore for my oc#whatever#ask me about all the lore that lives in my brain#im begging you
